# Presets

Elevate your scene production value with Presets! Presets allow you to animate sources within your scene by changing the position, color, or size of your sources.

1. To add a preset, click on the dropdown arrow just beside the microphone volume level then select **Add preset**. By default, the first preset is the original preset in your active scene. You add up to three presets but you can add more than its limit with the [Preset Manager Extension](/en/article/using-the-preset-manager-to-add-more-presets-oa9752/).

2. Adding a **preset** will create a duplicate of the _active scene_ which you can adjust however you want.

3. Select the added preset to adjust the source's orientation. You can change its position, cropping, and color on the source properties. These settings are found on the source properties _Color_ and _Layout_ tabs.
